Life on Stilts
By Anastasia

Hello, my name is Ansala. I am thirteen. I live on stilts. I have a baby and a dog. One day I was working in the field when a raindrop fell. I hurried back to my house. Before I could reach the ladder, it was past my head. "NO", I cried, I could not see. It was halfway up the ladder. I felt the ladder. I climbed up the ladder.
